The charm of the Bed and Breakfast

Locally, you will find several Bed & Breakfasts and country inns whose hospitality will further
enhance your memories of your visit to the Potomac Highlands. Whether you want a room with a panoramic
mountain view or you want to be along the river, there is an Inn for you. The Bed and Breakfast, as the
name implies, includes a room and breakfast. Several of the establishments in this area are Country Inns
which offer all meals, if you so desire.
Near Petersburg are three Inns, the Wildernest Inn (304-257-9076), nestled high atop a mountain
overlooking a lake; the North Fork Mountain Inn (304-257-1108), a log lodge located in the legendary Smoke
Hole region; and the Thorn Run Inn (304-749-7733), a rambling Georgian-style farmhouse built in the
1870’s.
To the South, in Franklin, is the Shaw House (304-358-3155) and the historic and beautiful McCoy’s Mill
(304-358-7893).
Wherever you stay you can be sure you will receive true mountain hospitality, great food and the chance
to meet many new friends in an informal and casual atmosphere.

We offer camping at our base with bathroom facilities, campfire and patio use. Camping at our
facility ensures the earliest possible start the next day. We can also secure arrangements for camping
at Eagle Rock at Smoke Hole. Please call and ask for details on these campsites. Other campsites in
the area are Seneca Shadows at Seneca Rocks, and Big Bend Campground at Big Bend in the Smoke Hole.
Information on these sites can be obtained by calling 877-444-6777.
There are numerous campsites along the riverbanks of our two to five-day trips. It is our opinion that
there is no better way to fully appreciate the beauty and serenity of a river canyon than to camp overnight
along the bank in the heart of the canyon.
